The AUG A1 is a 5.56 mm assault rifle used by both U.S. military forces and in limited numbers with the Nogovan Partisans in ArmA: Cold War Assault.
Overview[]
The AUG A1 is a gas operated, selective-fire bullpup assault rifle that is chambered to fire the 5.56×45 mm NATO cartridge.
It loads from 30-round plastic magazines[CfgWp 7], and can attain a fire rate of up to 600 rounds per minute on semi-auto[CfgWp 8][Formula 1] or ~ 857 RPM on full auto[CfgWp 9][Formula 2] with a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s.[CfgWp 10]
Used in limited numbers by U.S. forces deployed to Malden, the AUG A1 is the Austrian counterpart to the German-made G36 assault rifle. Both functionally and handling-wise, the AUG A1 it is quite similar to the G36. Like the G36, it uses an integrated optical scope that has a magnification strength of 1.24x[CfgWp 11][CfgWp 12][Formula 3] and has almost identical stopping power (the G36 is only just slightly more powerful by 1 damage[CfgAm 1]), the same amount of recoil[CfgWp 13], and a similar effective firing range.[CfgWp 14]
As such, it is undisputedly one of the two best assault rifles in Cold War Assault, far outstripping the M16A2 when it comes to range and also having the advantage of a magnified scope like a sniper rifle (though lacking the variable zooming capability of the M21).
Its only drawbacks are that it cannot launch rifle grenades, nor does it feature a dedicated sub-variant fitted with an underbarrel grenade launcher. In close quarters, the scope can also prove to be a hindrance rather than help since aiming with it is cumbersome, forcing the user to rely on their crosshairs (if available) rather than the scope's reticle.
Optics[]
The AUG A1 does not have ironsights and only allows the user to aim through its scope. It uses a fixed zeroing of 300 metres (this setting cannot be adjusted manually).[CfgWp 15][CfgWp 16]

Trivia[]
- The AUG A1 is strangely shown being carried by in-game U.S. troops despite the fact that it was never used by the U.S. military in real-life.
- In prior versions of Cold War Assault (when it was previously released under its original name as Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis) the AUG A1 was not actually available on release and was only added with Patch 1.30 as part of the first WEAPONS PACK.[2][3]
- Despite its official description stating that the AUG A1 has a muzzle velocity of 970 m/s[3], the in-game version actually has a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s.[CfgWp 10]
